""With Adoption Fantasies, McKee pushes us forward with generosity and rigor into important albeit difficult conversations. Here is a necessary, honest, but also expansive and highly researched interruption of both the lived material contexts of transracial Asian adoption and the more abstract, sometimes repetitive discourses of adoption scholarship. McKee interrogates the joy, beauty, grief, fear, and risks of Asian-adopted girl- and womanhood but also invites us to elevate our shared whispered warnings into louder, bolder, unapologetic declarations of refusal."" --Jenny Heijun Wills, author of Older Sister, Not Necessarily Related ""McKee applies a much-needed intersectional feminist adoptee of color lens to Asian American stereotypes and adoption tropes in media. Her focus on the women and girls harmed by these portrayals fills an important gap within adoption studies and forwards adoption as a productive topic among other fields of scholarship."" --Kim Park Nelson, author of Invisible Asians: Korean American Adoptees, Asian American Experiences, and Racial Exceptionalism
